Questions and Answers

Answer : D

Explanation

Polish Notation

Q 2 - Postfix expression is just a reverse of prefix expression.

A - True

B - False

Answer : B

Explanation

Expression notations are not reverse (or so) of each other, rather operators used in the expression have different arrangements.

Q 3 - The following formula will produce 

Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2

A - Armstrong Number

B - Fibonacci Series

C - Euler Number

D - Prime Number

Answer : B

Explanation

Fibonacci Series generates subsequent number by adding two previous numbers.

Q 4 - If the array is already sorted, which of these algorithms will exhibit the best performance

A - Merge Sort

B - Insertion Sort

C - Quick Sort

D - Heap Sort

Answer : B

Explanation

Insertion sort, as it should then work in linear way.

Answer : D

Explanation

Recursion is just an other way to write the same program code. But calling a function again and again makes it expensive in terms of memory, CPU cycles and delivers less performance.

Q 6 - Match the following −

(1) Bubble Sort(A) Ο(n)
(2) Shell Sort(B) Ο(n2)
(3) Selection Sort(C) Ο(n log n)

A - 1 → A,  2 → B,  3 → C

B - 1 → B,  2 → C,  3 → A

C - 1 → A,  2 → C,  3 → B

D - 1 → B,  2 → A,  3 → C

Answer : B

Explanation

Q 7 - Index of arrays in C programming langauge starts from

A - 0

B - 1

C - either 0 or 1

D - undefined

Answer : A

Explanation

Arrays, in C, starts from 0 which is mapped to its base address.

Q 8 - Tower of hanoi is a classic example of

A - divide and conquer

B - recursive approach

C - B but not A

D - Both A & B

Answer : D

Explanation

The recursive approach of tower of hanoi uses divide and conquer method.

Q 9 - If locality is a concern, you can use _______ to traverse the graph.

A - Breadth First Search

B - Depth First Search

C - Either BFS or DFS

D - None of the above!

Answer : B

Explanation

DFS is a better choice when locality-wise items are concerned.

Answer : B

Explanation

Efficiency of algorithm is measured by assuming that all other factors e.g. processor speed, are constant and have no effect on implementation.
